New Metallic Colors from Pantone

Pantone LLC, provider of professional color standards for the design industry, introduces Pantone Metallics for Graphic and Packaging Design, a collection of metallic spot colors intended for use on printed products, packaging, branding, and other collateral.

This addition to the Pantone Graphics System enables designers, brands, and printers to specify and produce luxurious, dazzling colors, in a more versatile and cost-effective way when compared to other commonly used metallic applications for print. The new Pantone Metallics combines the prior Premium and regular metallic publications into one robust collection and includes a new Rose Gold base ink and 53 other new colors. The full selection features 655 trend- and market-relevant metallic shades that are globally available off-the-shelf and designed to enhance projects.

The 54 new shades were inspired by the Pantone Metallic Shimmers, recently added to the Pantone Fashion, Home + Interiors System. For designers and suppliers working across materials, this alignment helps ensure that print and packaging colors can be more easily matched to products created in other materials and substrates including textiles, plastics, paint and more – delivering a more consistent color story throughout every execution.

As the latest update to the Pantone Graphics color system, Pantone Metallics are intended to complement the existing elements of the system and are available in two physical formats:

Six colors per page of perforated 1.2” by 0.8” chips (six of each color), printed on 100lb paper stock

Includes education pages showcasing various coatings options

In addition, all 655 metallic colors for print are available digitally for accessibility and viewing in design software and on-screen applications. Further, brands and their software and systems providers can bring these metallic shades to life in product planning processes by licensing the color identities and then specifying into their style guides and designs.

As part of this introduction, Neenah Paper, manufacturer in the premium paper market and long-standing valued supplier of Pantone, is collaborating with Pantone to highlight the impact of color, texture, and material in graphic and packaging design. For designers and brands looking to achieve luxury packaging and collateral, Neenah Classic®, Pearlized and Label Papers offer a modern and relevant canvas for Pantone Metallics, as exemplified in the various packaging executions developed for the campaign.
